Cabernet Blends

2005 The Cartographer

"A good varietal Bordeaux blend, with elements of sweet black fruit, cassis and just a little hint of oak; medium-bodied, fine and well balanced. 92/100"
- James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010

"An elegant blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. An appealing purity of fruit with silky palate of fine tannins and fine-grained oak a strong feature. A little rustic earthiness and perfumed aromas are engaging. 91/100"
- Ray Jordan

2004 The Cartographer

"A seamless silky blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The deep power of the Cab Sauv provides the foundations while the lifted aromatics and finesse of the Cab Franc adds some finesse and aromatic lift. Excellent wine. 89/100"
- Ray Jordan
